Database Software

Hi guys,

I just found out the database I use is switching over to integrated windows authentication. I've done a lot of research on the matter and I have no problems connecting from windows. However, I can't figure out how to actually connect from linux.

The problem is that the username on the database side now contains my windows domain information. This means my username is <domain>\<user>. When I try to connect from Linux, I obviously don't have that domain information and I get a user/password incorrect error.

This connection is being made via the Perl DBI with the DBD::Oracle driver. Can anyone give me some tips on how I might do this authentication? I can find all kinds of information on how to do this on windows, or how to do this on linux, but nothing on how to handle a mixed environment where you may need to authenticate from both environments to Oracle via NTS.

Any help would be very much appreciated :) I can provide any other information that might help.
